Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 4919
This quarter dinar hadith on theft repeats the value wording from Aishah: the hand of the thief is to be cut off for one-quarter of a dinar or more. The report is direct. It does not add a story, a location, or the name of the thief. That means the explanation should focus on the words that are present: thief, quarter dinar, and “or more.” This is useful for readers who search “one quarter of a dinar or more hadith” because the phrase is the core of the narration. The safe teaching is that the report states a value connected to the punishment for theft. Anything beyond that, such as legal conditions, should not be added unless clearly labeled from scholars or other narrations.
What we learn from this hadith
- The narration states one-quarter of a dinar or more.
- The report is from Aishah from the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم.
- No case details are included beyond the value statement.
- The wording should be explained without adding outside legal steps.
